I'm enjoying the debut album
by the
Polyphonic Spree. It's like someone took the symphonic lushness of
Sgt. Pepper's and mixed it with the naive earnestness of Up With
People. Only it's pretty good!

The interesting thing is the dense sound from having 25 people playing
and singing together. The deep choruses of "Soldier Girl" and "Light
and Day" are really great. Some of it is bad, though, the
remixes and anything where the main guy is the only one singing.

I was surprised to realize this was the first upbeat music I'd
enjoyed in a long time.

Just follow the seasons and find the time
Reach for the bright side
Just follow the day
Follow the day and reach for the sun
